Does anyone know where I can get patterns for knitted quilts?

Hi Arlene,

Knitted blankets and quilts were just made from yarn scraps in my family.

I've made a few. First one--I've never got around to putting it all together so it's an unfinished object--just made a bunch of 3inch by 3inch squares and then joined them together. The second pattern I deviced after making about twelve scarves for the local homeless shelter one year. It's just long scarves that I join together. A variation on that is to just make the ends pointy and then add a tassle per point.

Hope this helps.

Do you mean afghans? If so there are lots of patterns out there. Just Google and you will find dozens.

A covering to have a decorative purpose. Like a patchwork quilt out of fabric.

Hmmm... that would be rather nice using scarves of different lengths, and going in a circle... not exactly a circle, but starting with a square in the middle, and then 4 double squares to surround the centre one, etc.

Thanks for the idea.

Google for "knitted afghan patterns" and you will find tons.

Quilts are not knitted. Quilts are sewn. A knitted blanket/throw/whatever is called an afghan. Check Wikipedia for "quilt" and "afghan blanket" and you will see the difference.

That would be like a knitted throw or afghan, not a quilt. A quilt has a backing, a padding, and a front that is cut pieces of fabric made into a particular design.

Arlene! one nice /cheaper method would be using old sweaters , throw them in the washing machine = felting them , than cut up squares , take an old sheet and sew those felted piece over the sheet ,,, mirjam
